gravelly_a and_o light_a ground_n grow_v not_o so_o much_o in_o wood_n but_o their_o fruit_n be_v better_a fair_a colour_v and_o more_o tender_a the_o cause_n of_o this_o difference_n be_v easy_a to_o be_v know_v by_o he_o who_o consider_v that_o the_o beauty_n and_o vigour_n of_o tree_n depend_v upon_o that_o of_o their_o root_n and_o that_o according_a as_o they_o delight_v themselves_o in_o a_o ground_n or_o else_o disagree_v with_o it_o so_o the_o tree_n must_v either_o flourish_v extreme_o or_o languish_v since_o it_o be_v from_o their_o root_n that_o they_o draw_v all_o their_o

through_o too_o much_o moisture_n and_o cold_a or_o else_o through_o too_o much_o drought_n because_o both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o of_o these_o two_o extreme_n destroy_v that_o temper_n which_o be_v requisite_a in_o the_o earth_n for_o the_o nourishment_n of_o plant_n the_o water_n by_o its_o cold_n drive_v out_o that_o heat_n which_o animate_v the_o earth_n and_o so_o render_v it_o dead_a and_o incapable_a of_o production_n it_o stop_v the_o sap_n and_o consequent_o make_v the_o tree_n to_o suffer_v hence_o we_o see_v that_o cold_a reins_n in_o summer_n if_o too_o frequent_a make_v the_o green_a tree_n turn_v yellow_a but_o too_o great_a heat_n do_v likewise_o cause_v the_o same_o effect_n for_o it_o dry_v the_o earth_n too_o much_o and_o dissipate_v all_o that_o

judge_v that_o tree_n grow_v there_o must_v turn_v yellow_a and_o change_v soon_o than_o in_o strong_a ground_n which_o defend_v themselves_o better_o from_o the_o heat_n for_o the_o same_o reason_n must_v fruit_n be_v tender_a and_o well_o colour_v in_o dry_a ground_n and_o on_o the_o contrary_a very_o harsh_a and_o gross_a without_o colour_n or_o taste_v in_o ground_n that_o be_v cold_a and_o

quince-tree_n though_o both_o good_a to_o graft_v pear_n upon_o and_o both_o bear_v fair_a fruit_n be_v yet_o very_o different_a the_o sap_n of_o the_o one_o be_v much_o sweet_a than_o that_o of_o the_o other_o and_o consequent_o better_a this_o difference_n may_v be_v observe_v at_o the_o foot_n of_o old_a graft_a tree_n one_o of_o these_o sort_n not_o wax_v big_a according_a to_o the_o

because_o it_o come_v much_o soon_o than_o that_o which_o be_v perform_v by_o inoculation_n when_o the_o stock_n of_o these_o plant_n be_v strong_a enough_o to_o be_v graft_v the_o first_o rule_n which_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v be_v to_o graft_v they_o all_o at_o one_o time_n and_o to_o that_o end_n to_o pull_v upall_a those_o stock_n that_o be_v too_o weak_a and_o plant_v they_o in_o some_o other_o place_n for_o they_o will_v otherwise_o choke_v the_o graff_n and_o hinder_v they_o from_o grow_v then_o you_o must_v graft_v they_o in_o febr._n or_o march_n at_o the_o full_a moon_n that_o they_o may_v spring_v with_o the_o more_o vigour_n for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o if_o they_o be_v graft_v in_o the_o wane_n they_o will_v bear_v too_o soon_o care_n must_v also_o be_v take_v to_o cut_v the_o scion_n from_o such_o tree_n as_o be_v in_o their_o year_n of_o bear_v and_o full_a of_o fruit-bud_n and_o when_o they_o be_v grow_v they_o must_v be_v cut_v in_o the_o wane_n at_o six_o or_o seven_o foot_n high_a to_o form_v the_o head_n of_o the_o tree_n to_o graft_v well_o after_o this_o way_n you_o must_v cut_v off_o the_o stock_n you_o will_v graft_v upon_o towards_o the_o bottom_n five_o or_o six_o inch_n from_o the_o ground_n it_o must_v be_v cut_v aslope_o like_o a_o hind_n foot_n to_o the_o middle_n of_o the_o stem_n and_o the_o other_o half_a flat_a that_o thereby_o the_o syen_z may_v the_o better_o be_v place_v upon_o it_o because_o the_o tree_n be_v this_o cut_n do_v the_o more_o easy_o recover_v itself_o you_o must_v also_o be_v careful_a to_o cut_v this_o slope_n towards_o the_o north_n for_o two_o reason_n first_o because_o it_o will_v not_o dry_v so_o soon_o as_o if_o it_o be_v expose_v to_o the_o south_n and_o therefore_o recover_v itself_o the_o soon_o and_o again_o because_o the_o back_n of_o the_o graff_n must_v as_o i_o have_v say_v before_o always_o be_v turn_v towards_o the_o south_n or_o as_o near_o it_o as_o may_v be_v in_o as_o much_o as_o thereby_o it_o better_a resist_v the_o great_a wind_n and_o on_o the_o contrary_a when_o turn_v with_o the_o back_n towards_o the_o north_n it_o be_v by_o the_o least_o wind_n loosen_v and_o break_v now_o that_o the_o back_n of_o the_o graff_n may_v be_v turn_v towards_o the_o south_n it_o be_v easy_a to_o be_v judge_v that_o the_o slope_n of_o the_o cut_n must_v be_v on_o the_o side_n expose_v to_o the_o north_n it_o be_v further_a necessary_a to_o be_v observe_v that_o no_o more_o but_o one_o syen_z be_v put_v upon_o each_o stock_n how_o big_a soever_o to_o the_o end_n it_o may_v form_v but_o one_o stem_n and_o also_o that_o the_o graff_n may_v become_v proportionable_a to_o the_o bigness_n of_o the_o stock_n that_o be_v strong_a if_o that_o be_v strong_a and_o little_a if_o that_o be_v weak_a as_o soon_o as_o the_o tree_n be_v graft_v it_o must_v present_o be_v cover_v handsome_o and_o without_o shake_v the_o syen_z with_o clay_n or_o galt_z mix_v with_o very_o small_a hay_n or_o moss_n lest_o it_o dry_a and_o crack_v this_o way_n of_o graft_n in_o a_o cleft_n be_v also_o best_a upon_o paradice-apple-stock_n and_o plumm-stock_n when_o you_o graft_v other_o plum_n upon_o they_o it_o be_v also_o good_a for_o cherry_n and_o merisier_n inoculate_v by_o a_o scutcheon_n with_o a_o a_o bud._n bud_n not_o shoot_v forth_o be_v better_a then_o graft_n upon_o quince-stock_n and_o upon_o plumme-stock_n when_o you_o put_v upon_o they_o peach_n pavy_n and_o apricot-tree_n but_o the_o scutcheon_n must_v be_v place_v upon_o young_a wood_n and_o where_o the_o stock_n be_v not_o too_o big_a because_o when_o the_o bark_n be_v hard_a they_o take_v with_o more_o difficulty_n and_o be_v the_o long_a before_o they_o be_v recover_v now_o for_o asmuch_o as_o these_o tree_n be_v seldom_o bring_v up_o with_o a_o high_a stem_n for_o stander_n but_o be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n design_v to_o be_v plant_v in_o hedge_n against_o wall_n or_o keep_v low_a as_o
